Morocco ranks 48 in Global Peace Index
The Global Peace Index, in which the United States and Iran are practically tied at 96 and 97, ranks Morocco as 48 out of 121. Iraq and Sudan are at the bottom of the list, while Norway is ranked as #1.
In certain indicators, ranked on a scale of 1 ( most peaceful) to 5, Morocco did extremely well. “Number of homicides per 100,000 people,” “Number of deaths from organized conflict (internal)” and “Aggregate numbers of heavy weapons per 100,000 people” are just three of the indicators for which Morocco was given a “1.” The lowest ranking indicators were “UN Deployments 2006-7″ (5), “Relations with Neighboring Countries” (3), “Level of Violent Crime” (3), “Political instability” (3), and “Respect for Human Rights” (3).
The survey also covered culture and education, as well as other indicators. Morocco’s lowest point lies in higher education; in the education rankings, percentages of students enrolled were given. The results:
Primary education enrollment: 90%
Secondary education enrollment: 36%
Higher education enrollment: 11%
Overall literacy was said to lie at about 51%.

wow! between UK and Latvia!
France has also (5) “UN Deployments 2006-7″ (?), and i am surprised that they judged it easy to access to “weapons of minor destruction”… and what about political stability? basically nothing moves ^^! so it’s supposed to be stable!
i don’t understand what is the relation between peace and % of 15-34 year old males? the importance of religion in national life? i would rather add the number of people killed in car accidents for example.
this kind of rankings is ok, but it’s still subjective. everything is relative

I don’t get that, either! Apparently 15-34 year old males are the downfall of society?
